Basically, i would leave ESV to do what they want about him, it was their tourney that him and the other dude fucked up. Ban for life if they want too. In regards to the GSL, i think he should have lost his Code S and been forced to withdraw yeah. Banned untill 2012 and then allowed to requalify through code B. ( No fast tracks. ) I feel in this case, that would be a suitable punishment  | ||

ESV should of course be allowed to ban him for as long as they want. The same goes for Slayers, I assume the players in the team were all aware that the team doesn't want them to do things like this, yet CoCa did anyway, and gets his due punishment. | ||

I think that sure, what they did goes against everything a "pro" is meant to do on his area, but they are getting the sharp side of the edge just to make a point, "any kind of forfeit or matchmaking is not allowed and will NOT be accepted by any means". I can understand the reasons why they got punished like they where, but still seems a bit excessive to me. I still hold great respect to SlayerS team, but they shold at least let Coca train on the team house... either try to work with him or cut him lose. Heres a link to another thread on the topic + Show Spoiler + | ||

It's fairly obvious that SlayerS are doing what they are to save face for sc2 in Korea. References to the sAviOr incident have been made, and SlayerS want to appear to be "tough on crime", so acted in response. I have no doubt that, were the public not bothered at all by this, Coca would have had no severe repercussions at all. And this is why it is a tragedy - uninformed people making uninformed comments and having uninformed opinions lead to a minor mistake being made huge and yet the Korean culture and the history of "match-fixing" (although I hesitate to call it that) make it near impossible for Coca to have the punishment reduced. The whole situation has been blown way out of proportion, and Coca is the one to suffer for it. | ||

Well, my post wasnt really about the fact of it having a code A slot, it was just one of the outcomes of their actions, fine i was wrong. I dont think im "ignorant as fuck" thanks, ive heard from every source i could find (Here, reddit, mentioned on ESV weekly themselves, by artosis.) so i thought it was pretty safe to say that? fuck me -_-. And giving a team mate a free win while playing him (If you get to the bracket with him then resign, or do it the dumbass way they did and discuss and do it in game.) is completely different to just resigning in a tournament ? I dont see how you could get that conclusion, that leaving a tournament for no reason and giving <random person> a bye is the same as leaving a game then losing on purpose to give your team mate the win. (take out the team mate and put <random person> in and it still isnt right.) Im not the person who is "Ignorant as fuck" here imo, but i still wont sit here and call you it -_- | ||

In my opinion, they should have a temporary suspension from the ESV but removing Coca's Code S spot and removing him from the A team is VERY VERY harsh. Match fixing is not okay, what they did was obviously wrong but the situation has exploded to much larger proportions than it ever should have. | ||

It wasn't aimed specifically at you. It was aimed at all the uninformed people who discussed it. Why discuss it without looking up a first-hand source (preferably Diamond or an interview with Mr Chae) to verify the facts first? And listing reddit, a forum thread and Artosis of all people as sources isn't a bright idea.

I dont see how you could get that conclusion The short answer is that I didn't get to that conclusion, and in your haste to assert you position as not-ignorant-as-fuck you seemed to missed that. I said it WAS equivalent to resigning in a tournament.

If you think I'm ignorant, call me ignorant, but don't make a vague attempt at civility while also insulting me. | ||

He says all that in chat. So he couldn´t have played again, against the same opponent? Makes no difference, though, and will only send the message: "Don´t get caught" instead of: "Don´t do this ever again". | ||

Partial and false information (there was a gain). No reference to the other threads about the exact same topic. I hope mod either edit the op or close this thread. | ||

Firstly Byun isn't his teammate. Secondly there was no code A spot up for grabs. So clearly there is no gain for dropping that game. You are the one that misinterprets the situation. | ||
